The inlay looks like one of the Antonio Tsai's. Is that possible?

Looks like koa or Tasmanian blackwood rather than rosewood...

Sure looks like Koa. Maybe Jacaranda/Pau Ferro/Morado? (3 names for the same wood)
This is a Yamaha FG300 |

It's not a rosewood, but is almost certainly an acacia, whether koa, Australian blackwood or black acacia, the so-called "California koa."
My bet is that it's Australian blackwood, but I'd need to see it in person. whm |
